May 17, 1775: Daniel LeRoy


Is it just me or does Daniel LeRoy look a lot like actor Richard Kind?
Daniel LeRoy was born in upstate New York and started to put together a pretty good settlement, but an unfortunate choice on his part caused him to lose it all.
So he moved west and rebuilt his life and, by most accounts, it’s reasonable to say that he did rather well in the Michigan Territory, and in the State after that area became our nation’s 26th.
